TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, FRANCES P. GARDINEIi, of New Haven, in the county of New Haven, and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Catarrli Cure; and I' do hereliy declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

This invention is designed-for the cure of catarrh, and consists in the combination of Scotch snuifleastile soap, and tannin; and to enable others to prepzire the same, I will proceed to describe my manner of so doing.

I take, of common Scotch snuff, say, one-half pound, and one-half pound of castile soap, and one-fourth ounce of tannin. I firstgra-te the soap to fine poivder; then thoroughly mix the three ingredients and the remedy is ready for use, to'be taken in tlie usual manner of taking smi fl', a. single pinch three times per day until relieved. The proportions mentioned are such as I believe to produce the best results, yet I do not Wish to be confined to the precise proportions mentioned, as evariation will not materially affect the result. Having thus fully described my invention, what I clailnas new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is i V i I The herein-described compound, prepared substantially as set forth. v

FRANCES P. GARDINER.
